Gustav Klimt - An Austrian Painter (Grade 3 Arts Lesson & Activity Slide Presentation)
- 2. 1862 Born near Vienna, Austria in 1862. His family was very poor. His father and brother worked as a gold engravers.
- 3. Gustav loved to paint and draw, so he went to art school instead. He was very good at it and, when he got older, he was often hired to paint huge murals on the walls of buildings.
- 4. Do you know what a mural is? It's a very big painting that is painted directly onto the walls of a building.
- 5. Have you seen any murals on the walls of buildings? What did they look like?
- 6. What might be tricky about making this sort of art? Why would people want to paint right on the wall rather than inside a frame like most paintings?
- 7. Later in his life, Gustav wanted to try different kinds of painting. He painted all day, every day. Each day, he became more skilled with more practice. He wore a long robe and sandals while he painted.
- 8. Many of his paintings had gold or silver details, sort of like the gold engravings his family used to do. He also included lots of tiny details to look at.
- 9. Die Umarmung ("The Embrace" (c. 1905–1909) You could spend a long time looking at all the different parts of Gustav’s paintings, and maybe notice something new each time. Eugenia Primavesi [de], 1913–14, Toyota Municipal Museum of Art Adele Bloch-Bauer I (1907)
- 10. Gustav used repeating patterns to fill big areas in his paintings: swirls, triangles, circles and rectangles. Even when he was painting a person or a tree, he would fill the background with repeating shapes and colors.
- 11. Repeating Patterns Gustav Klimt often filled his paintings with repeating shapes and patterns. This can be seen in today’s popular "zentangle" designs. “The Tree of Life, Stoclet Frieze” (1909) by Gustav Klimt
